This episode has been sitting with me while I’ve been working on Back to Herself… not because I was trying to come up with something to say, but because I kept noticing this same feeling come up again and again in conver
This episode came from a season where everything just felt… full. Calving, sickness in the house, the boys starting football, in-laws away, building Back to Herself in the background. Nothing unusual on its own, but all
In this episode, I’m talking through something that’s been sitting with me lately — what it’s actually like raising three boys as they grow out of little kid years and into their own personalities. My oldest has just sta
Last week I attended a 900-person agriculture conference and found myself recognising so many familiar faces — people I only see because I chose to leave the farm and show up. It got me thinking about connection. How it
I recorded this episode because I couldn’t stop thinking about how much of life is made up of the days we barely notice. Not the big moments. Not the holidays or milestones or the things we plan and count down to. Just t
This episode has been circling for me for a while. Not in a neat, “this would make a good episode” kind of way — more in that nagging, tap-on-the-shoulder way where something just won’t let you go. I keep coming back to
This episode is a little different. I’m scrolling back through my camera roll from 2016 and talking out loud about what comes up. There’s no plan and no tidy storyline — just memories, moments, and the things I notice no
As a new year begins, there’s often a rush to set goals, make plans, and decide how this year will be different. But before we move forward, I wanted to pause. In this episode of Cultivate Contentment, I’m reflecting on
There are seasons where responsibility feels heavy. Unwanted, even. Like one more thing added to an already full plate. But sometimes, responsibility isn’t just something to get through — it’s the very thing that grows u
When I first connected with Krysta on Instagram a couple of years ago, I had no idea we’d eventually sit down and record a conversation like this — two women on opposite sides of the world, somehow living through the sam
In this episode, Jess shares a heartfelt life update, reflecting on the challenges faced during the calving season, including personal health struggles and the impact of burnout. She discusses the importance of setting b
I never thought I'd love this life as much as I do. And I also never expected it to feel so hard. In this episode, I open up about the emotional tug-of-war so many farm wives experience — the reality that you can love yo
Winter has arrived with a bang here on the farm—frosty mornings, short days, and that bone-deep cold that makes everything feel just a little bit harder. But this year, it feels a little easier than it has in the past. I
Episode Summary: Winter is well and truly here on the farm, and while Stephen complains the second it gets cold, I actually love the slower pace, the warm mugs of coffee, and the chance to reflect. In this episode, I giv
Some days feel heavy — not because you’re doing life wrong, but simply because life is hard. And that’s something we don’t say often enough. In this episode, I’m talking honestly about what it means to sit in the hard se
Mother’s Day isn’t always the joyful, relaxing celebration it’s made out to be. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the pressure, disappointment, and hidden challenges so many of us mums quietly carry on a d
In this episode of Cultivate Contentment, I’m opening up about a week that didn’t go to plan—and the truth about motivation. From a flooded bathroom and piles of laundry to the reality of slipping habits and cold dark mo
Ever fall into bed at night thinking, "Where did the day even go?" I used to feel that way all the time. Between kids, cows, and the chaos of farm life, it felt impossible to get even a few moments to myself. But everyth
If you’ve ever felt like your kids' rooms are a never-ending mess of toys, clothes, and random treasures—they are. And you’re definitely not alone. In this episode, I’m walking you through exactly how I managed my boys’
In this episode, I sat down with Angie Armstrong—a woman whose journey from a small family farm in the rolling green hills of the Yarra Valley to the rugged outback has been nothing short of transformative. Fifteen years
